‘Malcolm & Marie’ Review: A Promising Premise With Disappointing Results
Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.

Bibi, wanting to comfort her childhood friend Chichi after his breakup, invites their mutual friend A-Fei to join them. The three of them chat while making dumplings, but in all the playful chaos, their cherished childhood keepsake—a heart-shaped stone ring—disappears. They search the entire living room but find nothing. They start to suspect that the heart-shaped stone might have been wrapped inside the dumplings. To make sure, Bibi and A-fei cook and eat the dumplings they had spent the entire afternoon making, leading to a heated argument with Chichi. In the end, they spend the entire afternoon in vain, leaving only three "dumplings" on the table.

The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
